Andrea T. Brehon serves as a Contract Specialist with the SFLC Procurement Branch 3 (70Z040) under the U.S. Coast Guard, where she manages the acquisition of critical maritime maintenance, repair, and industrial support services essential to sustaining the Coast Guard’s fleet readiness.

She executes complex contract actions under FAR and DFARS guidelines, primarily handling service-based acquisitions for shipyard maintenance, industrial equipment repair, and marine infrastructure support, aligning with the Coast Guard’s mission to maintain a resilient, mission-ready maritime force. Andrea maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of specialized vendors including Philadelphia Electrical Equipment Co., JDCI Enterprises, Inc., ALS Services USA, Corp., Cabras Marine Corporation, and Bay Marine Boatworks, Inc. These partnerships reflect a focus on niche maritime and industrial service providers with proven expertise in vessel repair, electrical systems maintenance, and marine fabrication.

Her procurement patterns show a strong preference for open competition, with 86.2% of awards issued without set-asides, indicating a focus on technical merit and capacity over socioeconomic categorization. Nevertheless, she actively supports small business participation, with 13.8% of awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a balanced commitment to both operational necessity and socioeconomic goals. Andrea’s primary NAICS focus includes 811310 (commercial and industrial machinery repair), 562910 (remediation services), and 332111 (iron and steel forging), reflecting deep expertise in marine mechanical systems, environmental compliance, and structural component manufacturing. She routinely procures precision-forged parts, corrosion remediation, and vessel maintenance services, demonstrating specialized knowledge in naval engineering support and industrial supply chain logistics critical to Coast Guard vessel sustainment.
